Leeds United just kicked off their new Championship campaign 10 mins ago against Derby.
I was keen for this because of our Neill Kilkenny, pretty confident he'll step up and show some class in the Ch'ship.
He is the type of player I feel would go nicely in the engine room of any team, and if he shows what he has already in the first 10 mins of this match, for the season and beyond, he'll be a nice shout for the new Socceroo's coach and for our National team.

12 mins in and Rob Hulse scorches one into the back of the net for Derby. Early signs of lazy defending from Leeds went unnoticed and now Hulse makes them pay...

Booya, that's bloody awesome man, what was our starting line up do you know? Subsequent subs also, cheers.
Not streaming this one, exceeded 60gb LOL!

1-1
Luciano Becchio equalises!

what a game, legia have equalised and their right-back has got a hat-trick, it's an extraordinary game!

Kilkenny with another well taken set piece toward Naylor who heads it on, turning shot from Leeds striker hits the bar!

i posted the line-up on the previous page

since then, from memory eboue, lansbury, emmanuel thomas, sczcezny, gibbs, and now nordveit have come on

emmanuel-thomas!!! IT'S 5-4!!!!!!!!

Penalty Leeds, swift move on the right attacking flank, Leeds player appeared to have made contact with the ball.
Kris Commons steps up and slides it into the net. Derby 2-1!

I shouldnt have spent the last 2 hours watching youtube videos. ](*,)

Ahk, sweet man cheers.
What a game to have missed man, spewin' lol!

and nasri with the free kick makes it 6-4, REDICULOUS GAME!!!

NO!!
Oh my fucking god, cannot wait for these highlights, creamin

Another Kilkenny FK, another free header, another one hitting the bar!

Mistake at the back from Leeds, Derby latching onto the free ball, nice through ball to Commons who shoots forcing a good save from Kasper Schmeicel.

...and legia pull it back to 6-5, lol

How long to go?

entertaining game, but a pile of shit could have defended better than us today

dunno!? the clock's dissapeared

and now the broadcasters have lost the picture ](*,)

Lol!
Play it for another 90 I say, the fans would love it!

Yeh, I was thinking, although in pre-season and flood of subs, it doesn't fill me with confidence letting in this many.

the stream's just cut to a bayern munich match, but i think it's safe to assume it ended 6-5

but with this game, who knows? lol

HT Leeds 1-2 Derby
End to end first half, open and at times dodgy defending but entertaining nonetheless.
(Hulse, Becchio, Commons)gs

well then, one of the most extraordinary games i've seen in a long time, it had everything

a screamer from 25 yards, a comeback from 3-0 down, but above all goals, lots of goals

obviously i'm delighted with the entertainement factor of the match, but if we defend like that against liverpool i honestly think we'd be conceding 10 goals not 5

edit: oh, and fabianski was as shit as usual

Good passing passage from Leeds 3 mins into the 2nd half leading to a free-kick 24 yards out.
Johnson blazes over.
Kilkenny instrumental in all of Leeds' play.

This referee is reminding me of that scumbag Matthew Breeze. Some consistently shocking calls.

Back to the game. After Leeds' few chances, Derby are now pressing with their own pressure.
Following a goalkick, Leeds put together another nice movement, ball swung in and a huge shout for handball after a Derby player kicks it back toward his neck. No pen

Kasper having a blinder today. That double save was fucking brilliant.

An absolutely amazing double save from Schmeicel after a scrap by Derby.
Game has been up tempo end to end, Leeds controlled the most of this game.
76 mins gone, and still those sloppy errors by Leeds, albeit controversial on the pen, responsible for Derby's lead.
Kilkenny has just been substituted after a brilliant game in my opinion.
Box to box display, took some good corners and whipped nice crosses. Good passing from the middle. Very pleased I stayed up for this.

78th minute, Commons fk balloons over the top into the fans.

Johnson fk 80th min takes a wicked deflection going off target.
Leeds corner results in header being cleared off the line!

FT
Leeds 1-2 Derby
Sleep time after an exciting game

That's the first time since 1989 that Leeds have lost their opening league game.
